Wolfenstein 2: The New Colossus

About

Wolfenstein 2: The New Colossus is a singleplayer FPS developed by MachineGames. It is the third installment in the rebooted series.

Set in the alternate 1961 where Nazi Germany won World War II, the game picks up right at the end of Wolfenstein: The New Order. After sustaining heavy injuries in the battle with Wilhelm "Deathshead" Strasse, BJ Blaskowicz orders a nuclear strike on Deathshead's compound in order to cripple the Nazi war machine, but he is evacuated by his comrades before the rocket launch. Blaskowicz falls unconscious for 5 months and is woken up by a Nazi attack. The player has to repel the attack and end the Nazi reign over America once and for all.

The New Colossus features several stealth-action elements, just like the previous title in the series. There are some major differences in the mechanics: now BJ can modify his weaponry on-the-go, dual wield two different weapons at the same time. The cover system makes a comeback. The Protagonist doesn't stick to cover, leaning out of it instead.

The game offers a linear storyline, but the player is free to complete side-missions in any order they like. Completing these missions is rewarded with new weapon upgrades.

Actually, the Game would be a clear Buy recommendation ... Unfortunately not in the German Version or in the current State.
I would have no Problem removing the Symbols, but unfortunately complete Passages of text were changed and thus the Joke was destroyed. A Soldier who Gives Ku Klux Klan Members a Lesson in German (a la Monty Phyton "Romans goes home"), no, that is changed to a Quiz round where Just Annual numbers are Queried ... Really?
A Scot who has an ingenious Accent in the Original and in the German Version, of course, all High German speak Without any Accent ... So much Atmosphere is lost there.
Unfortunately, there is also no Way to switch to the English Language.
Therefore, I will never buy a German Version of the wrong game again, thank you for this Lesson.

Actually, I would like to give the Game a neutral Rating now (which unfortunately does not exist in Steam), as this is and remains a Review For the "German Edition" and for me the Problems with Localization described above still persist.
Technically, Wolfenstein 2 (meanwhile) is a solid Shooter if you can look past the localization story.
Persally, however, I would prefer the English Version to 100%.

Brutal, with a kinda «b-movie»-humor. Wolfenstein is linear and about corridor-type level design. But there is something cool when you charging through the levels like a chainsaw cutting jelly-dolphins. Train yourself at throwing axes for half a level. Hunt down officers before no one notice. Kill all the nazis with evil laugh. Oh man, you gonna like courtroom escape scene for sure)))

A fantastic addition to the series that continues what New Order finished. The gameplay, guns and exploring is very similar, it feels very episodic as expected. Some great characters and good voicing push the story. It ran smooth on my mid range i5 970 PC with medium to high settings.
